If there’s one thing the Vick detractors can all agree on, it’s that his back up is ALWAYS the best QB in football…

Cowboys suck, Giants suck, Redskins suck.

________________________________
WOW talking about a QB in philly and some fool needs to be reminded of the cold hard truth

Giants 4 Time Super Bowl Champions and Current defending champions

Cowboy’s who do suck but still have won 5 Super Bowl’s

Redskins again they suck but still have won 3 Super Bowl’s
So if those teams with a total of 12 Trophies suck what does that say about the only team in the east with zero Super Bowl wins?

With more then 25% of all Super Bowl’s won by NFC East team’s it must really suck not to have any.

Keep the dream alive philly

Foles impressed me (not that it means anything)

Did I mention his arm strength?

He has always had a good arm with decent accuracy and limited mobility. A couple of years in Philly working with one of the best QB coaches will set this kid up good for a shot starting somewhere in the NFL. The thing I like best about NF is his confidence, he seems real calm out there.

This was just about a half step up from playing in the Senior Bowl or some other college all star game.

I just hope he gets the 2nd team reps next, so we can see how far this kid can take it.

Comparisons of Nick Foles to RGIII just make you look ridiculous. While NF9 was airing it out against 3rd stringers, RGIII was dancing in the end zone…against Buffalo’s starting defense.

HTTR!!!

Then again Kevin Kolb has looked like a real dandy…

It is a good sign for Foles that he played well, but doesn’t even mean he’ll be good in a real game, let alone great. And to the guy who said he looks like Dan Marino, just stop, you’re an idiot.

Everybody forgot that this is how Victor Cruz started against 3rd stringers ..

Im not gonna sit and say hes the future after 1 pre-season game, but he had a good game yes.
————————————————
I dont know why Eagles fans are against Kafka. I like him and think he should have been the #2 last year. He came in the heat of the moment against Atlanta last year and played solid. If Maclin doesnt drop a 4th & 1, he would have had a chance to win the game. Im not say HE is the future either, but I apparently like him more than others.

That’s great and all but let’s remember that it was aganist 2nd and 3rd string guys instead of starters.

Let’s also remember that he was playing WITH 2nd and 3rd string guys instead of starters.

And he had to work with a 2nd and 3rd string supporting cast. He could of went 2/10 with no TDS. He performed like he should have playing against 2nd and 3rd stringers. Way to be negative.
